Courses and logistics
All courses head west from Superior toward Arnett Canyon, passing riparian sections with sycamore trees, flowing creeks, Saguaro cactus stands, and notable rock formations. The 50K includes many miles of the Arizona Trail and a loop around Picketpost Mountain. Course marking includes orange ribbons with black polka dots, reflective medallions, laminated signs, and flagging for wrong-way trails.
Aid stations vary by distance and are stocked with water, ice, electrolyte drink, sweet and salty snacks, and fruit; spacing ranges from about every 2 to 12 miles depending on the course. Crews are allowed at specified locations; pacers are not permitted. Drop bags are available only at the start/finish area. Medical staff will be on site, and an overall race cutoff is 4:00 PM with additional course-specific cutoffs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
